Medicine Ball Throw - 2nd Semester

As part of the "Rocket Fitness" program at SDA Elementary, 3rd-5th grade students participate in a medicine ball throw to test their upper body power. Power is a combination of strength and speed. The major muscles used in this test include the deltoids (shoulder muscles), pectorals (chest muscles), triceps (opposite the biceps), and core (abs, hips). Click play on the videos below to see some excellent examples of the medicine ball throw.
